Divide 6 by 2 repeatedly, collecting remainders: 6 div 2 = 3 remainder 0 -> 3 div 2 = 1 remainder 1 -> 1 div 2 = 0 remainder 1. Read remainders bottom to top: 110.
Verify: 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 0*2^0 = 4 + 2 = 6. Each bit position represents a power of 2, starting at 2^0 = 1 on the right.
6 in other bases: octal = 6, hexadecimal = 6. The binary form has 2 one(s) and 1 zero(s).
The bit pattern uses 3 bits and fits in 1 byte. When stored as a full byte: 00000110.
6 decimal to binary: 6 div 2 = 3 remainder 0 -> 3 div 2 = 1 remainder 1 -> 1 div 2 = 0 remainder 1 -> read bottom to top: 110. Verify: 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 0*2^0 = 6. Octal: 6, Hex: 6.
